Nothing can justify throwing faeces at someone

May 29, 2010 Letters

Dear Editor,
I write to condemn in the strongest words possible the attack on my friend and newspaper commentator, Freddie Kissoon. It was an abhorrent and disgusting act that does not belong among civilized people. It shows that certain individuals have not risen above animal instinct.
Nothing can justify throwing faeces at someone, regardless of what he or she has done to you. Kissoon is not the most liked person in Guyana and his writings irritate the hell out of people and are often inaccurate. But that does not justify intimidating or assaulting him or throwing faeces on him.
While I do not agree with most of Mr. Kissoon’s views on issues relating to Guyana and Guyanese or his interpretations of social and political theories, I strongly feel he has a right to pen his views for public consumption. There are other ways to express disagreement with Kissoon, regardless of how much he is an irritant to others. No one has the right to throw faecal matter on or attempt to hurt the controversial writer.
May I use this opportunity to call on Freddie not to attack others unjustifiably, especially without evidence, which has been a hallmark of his writings.
Vishnu Bisram
